Janet will be doing two performances. The first will be pre-taped and will be streaming on the American Express website tonight. I do not know what the songs will be, but I have heard that If was rehearsed. The second will be live and will be a Control/Pleasure Principle/So Excited medley. She will be doing the intro of Control (no verses), Pleasure Principle (chorus + verse) + So Excited in full. Total performance is 6-7 minutes long.

Here are some pics from rehearsals:

The Pleasure Principle


Love the J5 t-shirt, lose the wig.

Is the J5 shirt just for rehearsal, I would guess so, it's looks really pimped out though. I wonder why she didn't perform on the Jackson friendly AMA's?

No idea.



Probably because they didn't ask her. She's only done the BET awards since the SB - most shows that are televised live have avoided her

I had no idea this was coming on tonight!
Can't wait to see Janet do her thing, but I agree the wig has got to go
Is she nominated for anything?

It's tomorrow night

And no she isn't nominated.

I will be watching that shit...

VoicesCarry said:

THANKS! I had just started frantically shuffling around looking for a blank tape
so I could record it, since I'll be at work tonight

What channel and what time? I don't see it listed on my channel guide.

?

VoicesCarry said:

Thanks!

VoicesCarry said:

I just really hope it goes off well. She needs to do something that really kicks ass and gets everyone in gear to buy tickets for her show next year...

I can't believe she's singing "The Pleasure Principle!"

As for the wig...I agree, it has to go. I wish she'd rock the bright red hair again.

By the way do we know if she's opening?

can't wait to see.

I don't know if she's opening but she needs to open because I am sick of seeing Beyonce open every damn award show.

badujunkie said:

Yes, she is opening.

badujunkie said:

I agree. I thought this project was over in early November after So Excited flopped. She didn't seem interested in rescuing it. However some things have happened since:

1. She and Jermaine haven't been seen together in a month.
2. Virgin is aggressively promoting a third single (With U), which I never thought would happen.
3. Enjoy became a major radio hit in Japan.
4. Janet agreed to open these awards.

VoicesCarry said:

5. The album shot up the charts last week

Seriously??? Are they broken up? Hmmmmm...I had a feeling she would ditch him if his marketing strategy didn't pan out for her. I dont think it's a coincidence she dated one of the top producers in the game. Those Jacksons can be cold...damn I love them.

badujunkie said:

Oh, and 6. Jermaine quit Virgin

She ruined him!

VoicesCarry said:

Seriously! Up and quit his job for that woman! Damn...her track record with the dudes is less than ideal

badujunkie said:

I don't think he quit, I think his ass was FORCED OUT!

VoicesCarry said:

Maybe Mariah will take him.

badujunkie said:

She is supposed to be working with new producers on her next album.

VoicesCarry said:

Oh god that ho already has the next album in the works?

badujunkie said:

Fourth quarter 2007. Plus a live album early in 2007.

VoicesCarry said:

A LIVE album? Bitch can't put on a show to save her life! What is she doing?!?! Oh god just what we need...a re-release of some bullshit 90s ballad live...ugghhh...

She really knows how to go away and be missed.

VoicesCarry said:

I want this shirt and wig!

Please tell me she fired her predictable ass stupid same choreographer she's used for the past 20 years!

Janet has used 3 or 4 choreographers in the past 20 years. Do you mean Tina? Tina hasn't been around for years.
